"If we have proven anything [recently], it's that individual talent alone does not make a championship-caliber team. If we come out with a more balanced team, then all is good on that front." --Ken Williams to Dave van Dyke Chicago Tribune.

Duh. I wonder if the old: 1. Starter 2. Closer 3. Lead Off Hitter problem will be fixed. Then again, Rowand and Takatsu did fine last year but I'd feel much more "balanced" if we shored up those 3 parts rather than signing Beltran.
